Why do people like you keep going on about a change in colour of our shirt and the history of the club. The history of the club is about an FA Cup win, FA Cup Finals, League Cup Final, (Old) Div 1 runners up, ECWC semi finalists etc etc and not the colour of the shirt. We wore black when we lost to Portsmouth in the FA Cup Final. If we had won that day playing in black it would still have been one of the greatest days in our history. If you want to say that our history must remain connected with the colour of our shirts then we would still be wearing the Riverside colours and would never have worn a blue home shirt.

And why do people like you conveniently keep forgetting to mention the change of badge and nickname as well.... which ARE a big part of our history.... and before you start with the same old rubbish about 'we have changed our badge before', as far back as I can remember it had a Bluebird on it and that was our identity and who we were known across the land as...
And tell me, do you work for the Malaysians as you're very good at manipulating things to suit your way of thinking.... We played in black in the cup final.... Really.... that's the best you could come up with.... Do you think we chose to do that then or do you think it was on the toss of a coin and we would actually have preferred to have played in our traditional Blue.....

Indeed they did, but this was partly down to superstition and partly down to practicality as Barnsley also wore white shorts.... nothing to do with wanting to do away with the traditional blue....

Nope.... Because we knew damn well that come the following season we'd be playing in Blue, have a Bluebird on our badge and still be called 'The Bluebirds'..... are you getting the general theme there.....

And you can categorically confirm this can you, because the last I heard was that we were to become known as the Red Dragons, and the TINY bluebird that will be placed on the badge is some weak arse attempt to placate anyone opposed to these changes....

Well, all I can say is that if you think this will be the last of the changes then more fool you, because in a season or two I can very easily see a complete name change and rebranding... and before anyone comes on here spouting 'they can't do it after Wimbledon'.... rubbish... money talks, especially when it comes to the FA.... so I honestly believe if you tolerate this, then your children will be next.... sorry.... got carried away there.... but the club name definitely will be next!!!!!....

I agree with this^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Also, on the biggest day in our history, we wore a dragon as the centrepiece of our badge
